About
Oswaldtwistle Mills, located in the heart of Lancashire, has evolved from an 18th‑century textile mill into a vibrant craft fair and living heritage museum. The original mill gates now open to more than 100 independent shops offering handmade crafts, fashion, food, and homewares, while the museum captures the daily life of mill workers at the height of the cotton industry. Visitors can also witness the world‑record largest pear drop created by Stockley’s Sweets, a striking spectacle that delights families and food lovers alike.
